Post subject:  TV Out: tv not showing "watch tv", monitor

Hey all.

R5A15 install. When originally installed, no TV was connected, and was only using monitor. Since then I have used svideo to connect to my tv.

Machine is a Shuttle PC, using SIS301 video chipset that has svideo output.

Enabled svideo in bios, connected to tv. Everything showing fine, menu's etc, accept for when selecting "Watch TV". When I do this I am shown a blue screen on the tv, while the monitor which is also connected, shows the tv station fine.

Regarding X config, I used the nvideo sample file as my XF86Config-4, and edited. I changed the driver from nvidia, to sis, and also monitor to be tv.
Apart from this, the file is unmodified.

I tested a DVD as well, and the same thing. Seems to be when it changes to the full screen video mode, something is out.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Aaron

You're probably using Xv for the playback, and I seem to remember something about it only working on one screen in a multiheaded set up. A search of the forum might turn up more info.
